    As an American, I am just tires of injecting the subject of the racial make up or religion of candidates. It has no relevance.

    Obama will win the election, and be president for 4 more years. He is a better choice for America than Romney, who will cut all foregin aid(which means that argentina can´t get those tasty US DOllars) and PBS, a good education program for the infant children of America

    No need for US Dollars. The Peso will be fine since the illegal flow of the Dollars into Uruguay has been curtailed. I would worry if I were Uruguayan. How are you going to get the Argentine dollars into your banks to keep your economy afloat. Some “pirohuetes” to get some Argentine tourist dollars may have to do.

    Yes i know The URUGUAYAN peso will be quite ok, as the peso to dollar value is going down at a steady pace. Illegal Flow? i thought tourism and other methods are the main source of US dollars to uruguay. Uruguay has no need for the Argentine dollar, and it is not needed in our economy for it to be substainable. Although i will admit that without the US dollar our economy will suffer, it won´t suffer to a point of which we can´t recover. And yes, please come to uruguay this season Argies, we love knowing that we are getting the US dollars that your government isn´t getting.

    OBarmy is the biggest disappointment EVER in a politician for me. And being a Brit I have had my fair share of those.

    I was really hopeful, that at last, America had a uniting President in place but he has been an unmitigated failure on so many fronts.

    Rather him though than the Mormon moron. The more I find out about Romney the more I think he would be bad for America: but heh, it’s nothing to do with me!

    It really doesn't matter now does it? Both are populist idiots. Both will run the country to the ground. Obama increased the debt $6 trillion in 4 years. That is an amazing feet I must say, gotta give him that. But I bet Romney could out do him. I bet Obama will outdo himself. These “leaders” could care less about the future of the country. It is all about power and they have it.

    The government is either WARFARE or WELFARE and both are gigantic wastes of money. It doesn't matter who wins, the result won't be much different.

    Something interesting to think about. If the USA uses some inflation (print poo loads of money) to pay off its debt (or spend more), it really is like a world tax. You see since world war 2, the USA put everything on the dollar: oil, grains, finances, etc. So when the USA prints money, everything that is valued in dollars or every account or debt that is in dollars gets affected. Kinda ingenious of the americans if you ask me. Well I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens, but it will be an interesting show.

    Of course Russians would vote massively for Obama because unlike Romney who correctly identified the Putinist Russian regime as being the US' #1 geopolitical foe, Obama's off-mic comment to Medvedev was to wait until after Obama gets re-elected and he'll be more flexible with Putinist Russia.
